 1. Wearing Ponytails Too Often There is nothing wrong with wearing a ponytail on bad hair days but it is not a good idea to wear the ponytail frequently because as your hair is pulled back tightly in a rubberband and if you sleep with the rubberband on, you put yourself at risk of hair damage and breakage. In addition, this may also cause alopecia. 2. Overuse of Relaxers Many women turn to chemical relaxers to straighten their hair or make it wavy but what the women do not realize is that if they use these relaxers too much, they are susceptible to hair damage due to the lye and other kinds of chemicals in the relaxer. If you want to straighten your hair, you can use a flat iron or hot comb but be sure to use them sparingly as excess use of heating tools can damage the hair. 3. Washing Your Hair With Hot Water It is never good to wash your hair with hot water because as you do this, you cause hair breakage over a period of time. Instead you should wash your hair with cold or lukewarm water. 4. Untrimmed Ends One of the easiest ways to cause hair damage is to not trim your ends for a number of weeks because when you do not eliminate split ends, these ends will eventually break on their own and this causes hair damage and reduction of hair growth. Every few weeks you should trim the ends yourself or visit the stylist. 5. Unhealthy Eating Another bad habit that causes hair damage is not eating the right foods. You should cut out all processed foods, fried foods and fast food that is high in sodium and instead start eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy products, chicken and fish since these foods contain the vitamins and minerals needed for healthy hair. 6. Combing and Brushing Wet Hair When your hair is wet, it is in a fragile state and is why your hair is more prone to damage when you comb or brush hair while it is wet. You should dry your hair thoroughly and add moisturizing lotion and anti frizz mist spray before combing and brushing your hair. 7. Lack of Proper Conditioning Your hair needs to be conditioned properly in order for it to be healthy and each time you wash your hair with shampoo, you also need to add a high quality and all natural conditioner to your hair. The best conditioner to use is a leave in conditioner because it stays in the hair longer and the moisture is locked in your hair, particularly at the roots. Conclusion Hair damage occurs for a variety of reasons [the linked post is not published yet] and if you practice these habits, you should avoid them so that you will have better looking hair. If your hair is severely damaged, meet with your dermatologist and stylist to determine the root of the problem and look for tangible solutions. Womenkingdom
